Visit Hallgrímskirkja
Skólavörðuholt, Iceland
Hallgrímskirkja rises above Reykjavík with a stepped concrete facade inspired by Iceland’s landscape. The church is both a city landmark and an active place of worship, so a visit should leave room for the life of the building as well as its architecture. Step inside to see the spacious interior and organ, then consider the separately ticketed tower for a view across the rooftops. Clear weather gives the panorama its greatest reach, but the building itself rewards attention in any season.
